Will grime like this ever come out? Should I consider re-covering the whole thing as I&#8217;ve seen some people do? Or paint? (Many of the houses on our block are painted, though I know it&#8217;s considered sacrilege it certainly looks tidier than our dirty house.) The house is on a landmarked block, so I&#8217;m constrained by what they&#8217;ll allow.
